You are welcome.
Ideally we would need the agreement of current maintainer. But as far as I understand your previous email, you didn't get any answer from Javier. Could you confirm that? If we don't get any answer from Javier, the alternative is asking permission at desktop-devel-list gnome org (or perhaps at the foundation list).I've contacted Javier to make the Samuel patches about the iPython5 support available, he has made the review. I really respect the Javier work on Accerciser and his involvement on accessibility. I've contacted him privately the 2018-10-17 about Accerciser release without any answer from him. I personally consider we shouldn't wait more because I shouldn't have to request a new release to a maintainer after years. I assume he no longer has the time to work on Accerciser.
Ok, then let's reduce my proposed two-weeks to one week. For two reasons. First, I always tend to be conservative on this things, and after all this time, and with a fresh release, waiting just one more week shouldn't be a big deal. Second, because I bet that on desktop-devel they will ask how much we waited from our last ping.
@Alejandro: Does Samuel need to have a sponsor to become a maintainer ?
Well, not sure. This kind of maintainer reassignement without the previous maintainer available are not usual, so I don't think that there are a fixed list of requirements. I would personally propose Samuel as maintainer, and list all the reasons of why that is a good idea. I hope that's to be enough.
Thanks in advance. Best regards, Alex.
